    "content": "The other issue is on procuring of ICT programmes which stalled. This is one of the issues that we need to follow-up. We should not sit back as public resources are plundered. Our part, as Members of Parliament, is to appropriate money in this House. It is not good - and that is why we are taking blame as Parliament - to appropriate money three or four times to an institution that cannot absorb it. Initially, the budget for the Judiciary was Kshs3 billion, but in two years it shot to Kshs16 billion. In fact, there was low capacity to absorb that budget. This is going to be a pointer to us when we are appropriating money and we should not give a lot of resources to institutions that cannot absorb the funds."
